Russian Writer, Novelisst, Vegetarian, Pacifist, Christian Theorist, Libertarian, Ally of Anarchists, and Regarded as one of the Greatest Authors of all Time
: A Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909; the fact that he never won is a major controversy. (From: Wikipedia.org.)
Quote #19 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Workers and The Masses
“...for no social system can be durable or stable, under which the majority does not enjoy equal rights but is kept in a servile position, and is bound by exceptional laws. Only when the laboring majority have the same rights as other citizens, and are freed from shameful disabilities, is a firm order of society possible.”
